oral hsv1  is not considered a std.   when you transmit it to the genital area it becomes one.

you can transmit hsv1 orally without having sex.

You can spread HSV1 by sexual contact. If you have HSV1 cold sores and perform oral sex while you have an outbreak, you could give your partner genital HSV1.
